Never a truer word written! Agreed, 😂
Maybe that fulfils the "you genuinely can't understand why" part of the question? I'll go with that.
You’re right, makes more sense. And eases the blood pressure back to baseline. I also see a few new hairs growing on my bald head.
I even think the much-derided title song is a blast.
No problem @j_w_pepper ... His name is Dragonpol. He's part actor, part killer, one hundred percent misunderstood! He can help with any problem, and if it does come to a point where you think there's no solution, don't worry, he's got a neat little cane that can erase any issues...
Yes, I wear many different hats thought most of them are black. I'm also happy to see that someone here has read the book I'm in too! :)
Many people seem to criticise tfhe film because of Tanja Robert's limited acting skills and Moore's age. For me this does not matter so very much. Stacy Sutton, even though badly acted, at least has some relevance to the plot and an ordinary back story. And, Moore has never been credible in the action scenes in all his films. Actually no Bond film has ever been called realisitic.
For me, Eklands obvious annoyance of Sir Roger merely adds further surrealism to the most surreal Bond of them all. And the short bursts of silliness are so short they're easily overlooked. This Bond never fails to entertain me and it's in my top ten. Great title tune and score too.
Even Bassey hated her song and the audience hated that Bond went into space.
For me this is peak Bond. The score by Barry, the sets by Adam, the villain's dialogue, the setpieces and locations, Moore at the pinnacle of his career.

(Twenty years ago I would not have expected to ever agree this much.)
I concur!
Me three. It's just so lean & mean.
These days they tend to fare a lot better, which is a good thing.
Now I have a few soft spots for some of the lesser-liked films of the series, such as TMWTGG or AVTAK, though I do get why they wouldn't appeal to someone.
I'd say at the moment it's either QOS or SP, especially compared to SF and NTTD. While I tend to prefer QOS or SP, most people prefer SF or NTTD.
I'm with you there, much prefer QOS and SP to SF and NTTD!
Both have many fans, but both seem to languish around the middle to bottom areas of many fans lists.
OP suffers from a few misplaced 'gags' that whilst today's audiences find issue, 80's audiences were far more carefree and easygoing of such things.
Take away a line or two or a sight gag and OP is a very good spy thriller. But I've probably said that before. ;)
TB seems to be seen as an overly long and boring film based on it's many underwater scenes. I find it a fine pace, with stunning colour and cinematography.
It's one of those films I enjoy a little more each time I watch it.
As a fan, I find I gravitate more towards the films of the 60's and now the 70's.
Of course, there are most of the 80's films I also love, but the early films are where I find Bond the most interesting and exciting. DN and FRWL especially.
Even on the inside some don't rate Dalton's films but plenty do and I really like View but get the criticism, it irritates me itself for having so much good but not quite right.
So I'd say Golden Gun.
Its "not bad, not bad at all" and "does for me very nicely".
One for the unpopular opinions thread perhaps - but Moore slapping Maud doesn't feel off at all to me, its in keeping with "and I'll kill you if you don't" from LALD and I do like a serious moment amidst the brevity ('made your point') as it lifts both to a higher level.
Its fun but not fun for funs sake like Diamond's or Moonraker felt and there's plenty of seriousness in to counter that.
That's interesting. The scene is in slow-motion and unabashedly studio edited and not live and were all able to easily phase that out but not the whistle.
For your eyes only: Moore at his most flemingesque a strong movie
Both of the dalton films
The world is not enough (also both games are better then goldeneye)
And of course Quantum of solace (which almost could be Craig’s best film)
I almost wish they never did get the rights to Spectre just so i could see what Quantums higher ups looked like
Those are all solid choices there, @Risico007. You have good taste in Bond films. :)
You are just saying that as Never send flowers is my favorite gardener novel
It's spreading!
Is it really? Hopefully I converted you. Welcome to the (sadly quite small) club!
The eerie gaze of Dragonpol cannot be resisted. Very soon you will all love Never Send Flowers. >:)
The leanest meanest Bond film! I can understand some viewers have a problem with the editing, but then this is why the film repays repeat viewings! But it has so many other great qualities. Craig is a force of nature as Bond, visceral action, cool locations, perfectly paced and an outstanding score.
Bond groups on FB (Which i really should avoid to keep my sanity) always come up with the allegation it's a carbon copy of the Bourne series. Yet again, following a well worn narrative that isn't remotely true (Bit like those Moon landing conspiracy nitwits)
Number 8 in my rankings. If only the rest of Craig's Bond films could have been like this!
Yep, with you all the way there mate!
Admittedly I do remember being thrown by the editing in the cinema when I saw QoS first, but it's the one Bond movie that rewards greatly on multiple viewings!
